Why not go B-series and mod from there?

Also, I would be leary of the ebay turbo and havn't heard alot of good things about OBX manifolds.

yea i know im gonna upgrade the turbo eventually but dont have the money right now, and i kinda just like single cams for some reason and dont know much about b series so if i ran into problems i would have to go elsewhere instead of doin it myself

You forgot the intercooler and the engine management.

Also, stay away from eBay turbos. You can spend the money now for a quality turbo, or you can spend it more than once with an eBay turbo. Your choice. Unless you're talking about getting a used turbo of decent quality on eBay, not just a cheap Chinese fly by night knockoff.. Seriously, the Chinese knockoff turbos are the worst thing that ever happened to the performance aftermarket, and they don't save anyone money in the long run.

You can save money by getting a turbo with an internal wastegate; it won't matter at the power levels you're talking about. You might think about a cast manifold also, it will last longer many times longer than an OBX manifold and again, it won't matter for the power levels you're talking about. Many stock turbo manifolds are cast for a reason, they are bulletproof and work great for moderate power levels.

listen to this man^ i have a cast iron d16 manifold ill sell you, thanks for not thinking you need to sleeve your motor hahahah. look into getting your ecu socketed and use crome for a tune..good luck

are you planning on getting bearings too?


i know of several people who have had/still have ebay turbos.... it's not like it will kill your car instantly by bolting it on. im also unsure of how far the .57 is going to get you... i have a T3 (.60 AR) that im using in my turbo build, and judging by the compressor map, 15psi should get me about 250hp... so the .57 might be a little small for your power goals...

MajorsEF

a 57 trim will definitely hit his goal

haha sorry guys i have a hks intercooler, pretty big i dont know the measurements and i have a p28 with crome in it. and uea i was gonna upgrade the turbo in the next few months i just have to save up a good 500, and i heard that the response is better in cast but you wont be able to make as much power? but i do hear they are indesructable

Bumper Caddy

oh yea i got new bearings all around as well, but you really dont think ill make 220? even after i upgrade to a better turbo?
